Good idea, Hudson.

I'd also encourage our crafters to continue

to post their primary BOD searches on these

boards.

I'd be willing to place a Bulletin Board at my home,

Sanctuary, where we could enter and/or remove

our BOD desires, which should provide us with a

more updated record.

My BOD needs are ever-changing. My smith

and tailors pull twice a day, three times if I'm

lucky. And I'm even considering putting craft

skills on a few of my dormant characters to

improve chances of getting useful BODs.

From OSI:

Runic Crafting Tool

By using a Runic Crafting Tool to craft an item, tailors and blacksmiths will be able to craft more powerful artifacts.

Items created using a Runic Hammer or Runic Sewing Kit gain additional bonus properties, generated from the list of magic effects at the top of this document.

The number of properties and their intensities (relative strength of the property) are determined by the type of Runic Tool used. For example, a Valorite Runic Hammer has the chance to add more bonus properties to an item than a Shadow Runic Hammer, and any properties added to the item have a higher average intensity rating.

Unfortunately, this new way of crafting is ill-understood by even the most accomplished crafters, and the results tend to be quite unpredictable. While the crafter is certain to get a better item from crafting with a Runic Hammer, they cannot choose which bonus properties will be applied to the item.

------------------------------------------

I found it here: http://guide.uo.com/itemproperties.html

The Ancient Hammer adds points to your Blacksmithing skill but only while you are holding the hammer. Folks in the trade refer to these as "ASH". The one Rico was given has 10.0 skill bonus points. I believe the highest ASH is a +60.

Balandar and the guys who have started up

a branch of The Honor Empire for the upcoming

World of Warcraft could use some votes for

their clan/website.

Let's do what we can to help them with their

recruiting and community development.

Please take a moment to vote for the

Skullcrusher Orcs.

No worries, sire. Just a lil sibling spat.

Just a lil FAMILY feud.

Hudson,

Our nerves were frayed by the frustrations of the mishaps

encountered during that white wyrm escapade. Your words,

I believe, were fueled by your thrashing emotions, and not

intended to injure.

I, in turn, apologize to those present for simply turning on

my heel and leaving, so great was the offense taken. I am

relieved that we were able to mend our fences once we had

both regained our composure.

Let us mark this as a learning experience and proof positive

of the strength of the bonds of our friendship.

For HONOR and Empire!

Madison, Heran Knight

Guardians, there are many treasures

to be found in the guild archives.

I enjoyed this one especially, and

encourage each of you to seek out

these dusty tomes.

For HONOR and Empire!

Hail, Rusty!

I am glad to hear of the opportunity to lasso you

back, even if it requires a bit of gentle nagging.

Our activity is picking up, that's true. We've been

successful in recruiting some fine new Guardians,

and it would be icing on our cake to be gifted with

the return of our veterans as well.

I very much look forward to meeting you.

Strength and HONOR!

PS. Alright, family --- let's send some brotherly

love to him at ICQ 20540191.

*affixes the food tray to the front of his chair, blocking his reach*

*carefully moves all sharp objects to a spot beyond their grasp*

Well, you just waltz on over to your favorite NPC blacksmith and

ask him/her for a Bulk Order Deed. (Click once on them to display

the selection menu.) You will be able to do this once every 6 hours.

Be prepared to toss the lame ones down in disgust; it happens more

often than I care to remember.

The "keepers" can be placed in a BOD book which can be created

by a highly talented scribe. If you don't have one, just holler. I'll

ask Cheyenne to fashion a few books for you.

Tower of Roses has excellent charts of what rewards to expect from

your BODs once you have completed them.

Beware! This can be quite addictive!

Strength and HONOR!

I've been searching without success for:

20 exceptional horned leather leggings

This will complete a large BOD with which I hope to

get a barbed runic kit.

I am willing to trade or buy the BOD outright. If you

have it or see it on a vendor, please let me know.

Thank you,

Lady Ulanie

Congratulations on the new job, Hadrian!

Hope you are able to squeeze some time out of your

busy schedule to join us on our myriad adventures.

I am thankful that this year I finally joined the ranks of

our guild. The Guardians I have come to know are kind-

hearted, genuine people with a strong sense of integrity

and a fun-loving outlook.

I am thankful that I had the chance to spend a bit

of time with Triston and Cheblis before they left.

Their storytelling talents are superb and I have

learned a lot from them. Both were very generous

with their time and their knowledge. I hope that they

are each finding great enjoyment in their new adventures.

I am thankful to have my fencer gal well trained by Guardian

warriors so that when the BOD systems drive my frustrations

to a fever-pitch, I can find release by grabbing a kryss and

wreaking havoc among the vile creatures of Sosaria.

I am very thankful for the leadership of this guild, past and

present. From the Emperor and Senators on down, all have

exhibited a true concern for everyone's welfare and the

prosperous future of this family.

I am thankful for the new Guardians who enrich our daily

experience, who exert themselves to learn our credo, who

contribute their time and effort alongside their brothers and

sisters to protect the Virtues that founded this guild.

I am thankful that OSI can't seem to fix the housing system

yet because it extends the period of time before Lukkan's

house falls. I am thankful for our military, Lukkan especially.

Please keep them all in your thoughts and remember them

in your prayers.

I am thankful for OSI and the gateway they provide to this

world of possibilities. Even though it's not perfect, even

though there are some aggravating bugs, it remains a good

source of entertainment.

I am thankful for friends and family and for the opportunity

this time of year encourages for recognizing how fortunate

we are.

For HONOR and Empire!

Happy Holidays!!!

One smith, three tailors, GM or better.

I will be at the Sunday gathering, bow in hand,

Jose .... Cuervo.

You are a friend of mine.

I like to drink you

With a little salt and lime.

Warning to Hudson: You try to make anything of that

and yer dead meat!!!

*dances around the house in happy anticipation*

Some days, it just doesn't take much to get me wound up.

Kudos to the Creators for coming up with some very nice gifts

for us this year. Too bad that Hudson has been so naughty,

though .... sticks, no coal, for him!

Welcome back, Hadrian! I look forward to meeting you.

Tis good news to hear of a Guardian returning to us.

The Kaatya gals stand ready to be of whatever help

we can be to you.

Strength and HONOR!

Unfortunately, I have plans for tonight and won't be able to make

the hunt. Ya'll have fun, tho!!!
